5.4.1 IR address

Why a IR address ?

As more than one Solaris LC40 can be installed in a room, the separate Solaris LC40 should be separately addressable with an RCU. Therefor each Solaris LC40 has its own address.

Set up an individual IR Address.

The set up of a LCD panel IR address can be done via the software.

Solaris LC40 controlling.

Every Solaris LC40 requires an individual address between 0 and 9 which can be set in the Service menu.

When the address is set, the Solaris LC40 can be controlled by the remote control:

If it is necessary to control a specific LCD panel, then enter the LCD panel address into the RCU (only when that address is between 0 and 9). The Solaris LC40 with the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU.

5.4.2 Displaying and Programming IR addresses into the RCU

Displaying the LCD panel IR Address on the Screen.

1. Press the Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.

The Solaris LC40’s address will be displayed in a ’Text box’

To continue using the RCU with that specific address, it is necessary to enter the same address with the digit buttons (address between 0 and 9) within 5 seconds after pushing the Address key displays LCD panel IR address 003, then press "3" digit button on the RCU to set the RCU’s address to match the LCD panel’s IR address. Do not press 0–0–3 . This will address the remote control to ’0’ and control all LCD panels in the room. If the address is not entered default address (zero address) and controls then all LCD panels in the room.

8.8.1 About Viewport

Overview

A viewport is a window on the input source. The source content will be cropped to the dimensions of that viewport window. The information in that window will be used for further signal processing.

A viewport is determined by its start position and its width and height.

Viewport creation only works correctly when the total pixels and total lines settings in the viewport menu are more or less correct: The other settings (Horizontal start, horizontal size, vertical start, vertical size) depend on these two settings. The software does not a

llow ’horizontal start’ + ’horizontal size’ to be larger than ’total pixels’. So, if the menu does not allow you to shift the image far enough, or set the image wide enough, it is very likely that the total amount of pixels is set too low. The same goes for the vertical parameters.

8.8.3 Automatic Viewport function

About the Automatic function

When the automatic viewport function is selected, the reproduced image returns to the active area of the input signal.

Image 8-3 Viewport automatic

A Actual viewport image B Automatic viewport to active area

Automatic viewport detection only works correctly when the total pixelsand totallines settings in the viewport menu are more or less correct: The other settings (Horizontal start, horizontal size, vertical start, vertical size) depend on these two settings. The software does not allow ’horizontal start’ + ’horizontal size’ to be larger than ’total pixels’. The same goes for the vertical parameters. So in the rare case the input source causes the wrong file to be selected, and that file happens to have a much too low setting for either of the two values ’total pixels’ or ’total lines’, the automatic viewport function will not function correctly, because it will be limited to the range in the ’total pixels’ and ’total lines’ values.

Overview

• Introduction to Input Balance

• Adjusting the input balance

12.4.1 Introduction to Input Balance

Introduction: Unbalanced color signals

When transporting signals, there is always a risk of deterioration of the information contained in the signals.

In case of information contained in the amplitude of the signals which is the case of data color signals (R, G, B),image 12-1 , we are quite sure that the amplitude of these color signals is subject to alterations.

An example of alteration may be a DC component added to the signal, in the form of a DC offset repositioning the black level, since this black level (“brightness”) will become crucial later on (clamping circuit) it will result in “black not being black”.

Another value that is subject to alteration is the amplitude of the signal, resulting in an altered “Gain” of the signal (“white level” or contrast).

The alterations of the three color signals will happen independently i.e. the colors will end to be unbalanced, image 12-2

The objective of input balancing

The objective in input balancing is to “set” the same black level and the same white level for the three colors of a particular input source.

Black level setting : brightness

White level setting : contrast

The same absolute black and white level for the three colors allow the same reference for Brightness and contrast control of the picture !

These two references also set the range in which the ADC will work for that particular source (this explains also why each input balance setting is linked to a particular source and thus saved in the image file).

12. Advanced Settings

12.4.2 Adjusting the input balance

How can it be done ?

To balance the three color signals of a particular source there are conditions; in fact we must know the black and the white level of the source i.e. :

1. The source in question must be able to generate a white signal, ideally a 100% white (background) full screen pattern

2. The source in question must be able to generate a black signal, ideally a 100% black (background) full screen pattern

Image 12-4

White balance : In the projector, we will set the contrast for each color until we get a 100% light output picture when displaying a 100% white image (image A)

Black balance : In the projector, we will set the brightness for each color until we get a 0% light output picture when displaying a 100% black image (image B).

The changeover from min to max is indicated by the apparition of bright spots also called “digital noise”

An alternative to a full screen White/black pattern is the standard gray scale pattern, the white bar will be used for white balance and the black bar for black balance.

12.6 Film mode detection

What can be done ?

Some sources like common DVD material are derived from cinema 24 Hz sources (2/2 or 3/2 pull down method).

The film mode detection insures that these converted signals are shown without artefacts.

This function may cause undesired effects on standard sources, therefore it can be disabled (OFF) at any time

2:2 pull-down

The process of transferring 24-frames/sec film format into video by repeating each frame (used for PAL DVD’s) as two video fields. ( AD )

3:2 pull-down

Method used to map the 24 fps of film onto the 30 fps (60 fields) or 25 fps (50 fields), so that one film frame occupies three video fields, the next two, etc. It means the two fields of every other video frame come from different film frames making operations such as rotoscoping impossible, and requiring care in editing. Some sophisticated equipment can unravel the 3:2 sequence to allow frame-by-frame treatment and subsequently re-compose 3:2. The 3:2 sequence repeats every five video frames and four film frames, the latter identified as A-D. Only film frame A is fully on a video frame and so exists at one time code only, making it the editable point of the video sequence.

Introduction

An image file contains the main characteristics of a source (number of active lines,...). The displays’s memory contains a list of files corresponding to the most common sources, these are the standard files (file extension= *.s). When a new source corresponds to one of these files, a custom file (file extension=*.C) is created and saved for future use.

The maximum number of custom files that can be created is 63, the four last files are systematically overwritten.

When there is a little difference, the file can also be loaded and then edited until the source specs are reached.

The Load Automatic function creates automatically the best suited image file (custom file) for a new source.

Practical example to set up the configuration.

• Start with the first display and give it a IR address. Enter a logical pin code for the IR unlocking and set the IR locking on.

As the PIN code contains four digits, use e.g. the first 2 digits to indicate the row and the second 2 digits to indicate the colomn.

• Set display per display on the same IR address, enter the logical PIN code and set the IR locking on.

• Unlock now the first display and set up the tile configuration and all other adjustments for that display. Set IR locking back on

ON and continue with the next display.
